Dr Zuleyka Zevallos

Mockery and snark are the opposite of those things. You can watch how his DMs to me got increasingly desperate. You can watch how he tried to defuse things multiple times, to get me to play “we are now friends no harm no foul”

You can, in other words, tell that he very much wanted something from me. Anything sincere. Anything he could twist into an ego pat.

But there was harm. And it was a foul set of things to do and say. And I am not here for playing nice with rapists or rapist-wannabes. So I poked at his vulnerable spots and laughed at him.

But the most important reason, is that indigenous women are the most likely to be sexually assaulted of all racial groups.

So anytime someone wants to feed off my fear, I grow stronger from theirs. Anytime someone wants to objectify and dehumanize me, I make them the object of my scorn. I do it for myself. And I do it for the rest of us. And I’ll do it, and more, again and again.

And I hope, not because I think so much of myself, just because I want it so badly That by ridiculing disgusting horrible creeps, maybe I can help support healing and empowerment.

I’ve said it before, but it bears adding here: my path in life is to be shock troops. To broaden and smooth the road for others, especially the indigenous youth who are coming after me. This stuff is part of that path.

Dude, this guy just started @-ing me because I responded to something @kay314159 wrote. I blocked him after which he proceeded to harass me on facebook. He's not much different over there. https://www.facebook.com/banajit.boro
